Heather Elliott-Famularo is committed to researching and exploring
cultural issues in her work. Her interest in the Holocaust began in
2005 when she began collaborating with composer, Burton Beerman, in his
multimedia opera, TIKVAH, directing and producing the video for the
piece. Her current work includes Bearing Witness: The Voices of Our
Survivors, a documentary film that captures the stories of the
Holocaust survivors in Toledo, Ohio. This feature-length compilation of
survivors' stories includes the voices of the young Jewish youth of the
local synagogues. Elliott-Famularo was awarded a competitive fellowship
at the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society at BGSU to
complete the film in 2011. The film was also awarded several grants.
